Member Function Documentation

featureRenderer()

QgsFeatureRenderer * QgsVectorLayerRenderer::featureRenderer ( )

inline

Returns the feature renderer.

This may be used for tweaking it before the actual rendering of the layer.

Since

QGIS 3.12

Definition at line 71 of file qgsvectorlayerrenderer.h.

feedback()

QgsFeedback * QgsVectorLayerRenderer::feedback ( ) const

overridevirtual

Access to feedback object of the layer renderer (may be nullptr)

Reimplemented from QgsMapLayerRenderer.

Definition at line 220 of file qgsvectorlayerrenderer.cpp.

flags()

Qgis::MapLayerRendererFlags QgsVectorLayerRenderer::flags ( ) const

overridevirtual

Returns flags which control how the map layer rendering behaves.

Since

QGIS 3.34

Reimplemented from QgsMapLayerRenderer.

Definition at line 230 of file qgsvectorlayerrenderer.cpp.

forceRasterRender()

bool QgsVectorLayerRenderer::forceRasterRender ( ) const

overridevirtual

Returns true if the renderer must be rendered to a raster paint device (e.g.

QImage).

Some layer settings require layers to be effectively "flattened" while rendering maps, which is achieved by first rendering the layer onto a raster paint device and then compositing the resultant image onto the final map render.

E.g. if a layer contains features with transparency or alternative blending modes, and the effects of these opacity or blending modes should be restricted to only affect other features within the SAME layer, then a flattened raster based render is required.

Subclasses should return true whenever their corresponding layer settings require the layer to always be rendered using a raster paint device.

Since

QGIS 3.18

Reimplemented from QgsMapLayerRenderer.

Definition at line 225 of file qgsvectorlayerrenderer.cpp.

render()

bool QgsVectorLayerRenderer::render ( )

overridevirtual

Do the rendering (based on data stored in the class).

Returns true if the layer was completely rendered successfully (i.e. the render was not canceled early).

Implements QgsMapLayerRenderer.

Definition at line 238 of file qgsvectorlayerrenderer.cpp.

setLayerRenderingTimeHint()

void QgsVectorLayerRenderer::setLayerRenderingTimeHint ( int  time )

overridevirtual

Sets approximate render time (in ms) for the layer to render.

This can be used to specifies a hint at the expected render times for the layer, so that the individual layer renderer subclasses can apply heuristics and determine appropriate update intervals during the render operation.

Note

Not available in Python bindings.

Since

QGIS 3.18

Reimplemented from QgsMapLayerRenderer.

Definition at line 215 of file qgsvectorlayerrenderer.cpp.
